{bye-bye!}

I just put pineapple scentsy in my warmer.

I'm soooooooo over winter.

The end. 

 

{could it be?}

a bud in a tree?

YIPPPEEEEEEE!!

{over it}

Yes, it's official. 

I am pretty much over the dreary days of winter.  

Just sayin'.

Bring on the sunshine, flowers and green!

{getting ready}

I've purchased all of the seeds for spring.

 

I think.

I'm going to start some of them inside over the next few weeks.

Although, I love snow.

I'm looking forward to the carefree, simple days of summer.

In a big way.

{a perfect winters day}

i can hear the boys giggling in the front yard.

fresh cinnamon rolls hot out of the oven and paula deen's dreamy creamy hot chocolate {with a tweak or two} simmering on the stove.

the fireplace is roaring.

definitely a pj-clad kind-of day!

{blissful thinking}

it's a constant struggle right now.

this time of year makes it that way for me.

i am literally "craving" domestic activities from decorating, to purging/organizing, cooking yummy comfort foods, reading multitudes of big books {as evan would say}, snuggling in winter pj's {even the ones that noah destests. the ones with the moose on them.}, listening to loads of christmas music, burning candles like there's no tomorrow, watching movies, folding warm laundry {yes, that is true!} but, typically i only want to do that for about a week or two. the laundry that is.

but, not yet as this computer is still beckoning me loudly.

i may, however, slip in a break or two this weekend.

happy weekend everyone!

ps...thanks for all the texts/emails/messages re: scott and evan. evan is doing well with no further complaints. fingers crossed there. poor scott...it is hard to watch this.....it is like the never-ending labor. i feel so bad for him!! he's being a trooper though. not sure we'll make it through this night without a trip to the er. my poor mom could not take it today and actually laid hands on him to pray. very sweet.

{recall}

i took a 5-minute break from my bed/chair {the comfy-comfy one}. i've been under 5 blankets including a down-filled one this morning. yep, pretty sure i am sick.

although we have the fire roaring, the heat cranked way up - i am thinking the house is warm, although i am freezing of course. in my hazed-filled dozes....i think i remembered very vividly sitting in what felt like 120 degrees on the baseball bleachers with my baseball mom friends. we would pray for a breeze.

now, we are getting for below zero digits with 40-mile gusts?

seems like 2 weeks ago we sat on those bleachers???

and, on that note. Since we are NOT in the middle of winter, in case you are preparing for that summer tan.....target has their swimsuits out?

will it ever be right? maybe that is why everything seems so unbelievably rushed - we never get to "be" where we are suppose to be?
